Alcohol AS Poison.

Sir Andrew Clark. physician in ordi
nary to her Majesty and Mr.. Gladstone's S
medical adviser, writes: | call perfect
health the loveiest thing in this world.
Now alcohol, even 10 small doses, will
take the bloom off, will Injure the per-
lection of loveliness of health both
mental and moral.
| do not desire to make out strong
case; desire TO make out true case. |
am speaking solemnly and carefully in
the presence Of truth, and tell you am
considerably within the mark when |
say to you that going the round of my
hospital wards to day, seven out of every
ten there owed their ill-health to alcohol.
Now what does that mean? That out of
every hundred patients which | have
charge of at the London Hospital, sew
euty of them owe their ill health to
Alcoholic the abuse. do not say these
seventy per cent. were druukardS, but to
the excessive use.

means of saying, in human life in society
at large, what is the per centage of vic
tins which alcohol seIzes upon as its
rightful prey. do not know. l have
no method of coming accurately to the
| conclusion, but | know this, that not
| only has large percentage of such dis
cases as | have mentioned, but great
| masS-certainly more than three-fourths
| Of the disorders in what we call fash
| ionable life''-arise from the use of this
very drug of which am now speaking.
| Now, if you think of that, and think for
one moment of the fact have told you
| that in this London hospital seven out
of ten of those whom have seen today,
and seen for one reason, to present the
statement to you tonight, lie there
manned for life by this agent; that a
great mass, perhaps the greater mass of
the disorders, as distinct from the dis
eases with which mankind is afflicted
arise from the abuse of this drug-surely,
surely you will agree with me that ter
rible responsibility lies upon those who,
forgetful of these PLAIN and certain teach
ings, which the commoneSt experience
can yield, will stimulate people to keep
themselves up with glasses of wine and
glasses of beer.
And | ask, what are you to think of
those who are born of drunkards, who
came into this world, so to speak, with a
curse not only upon them, but in them,
the terrible desire for that which is to
blast them and to blast them speedily
desire which no human power can save
them from, and which God alone, in his
wisdom and mercy, can protect them
from? What an awful thought is this
Can there be any man here present who,

A GENTLE WIFE'S VICTORY.
How Woman Won Her Husband Over to
the Safe Side.

HOW Il oman won Her husDand over to

RerirdliSt Sam Jones IN d sermon.
Above all qualities in the world for a

\ gentle-spirited wife. | heard this in-
cident once, and it impressed me very
much. Five gamblers sat gambling, and
the clock struck -, and /, and 2, aud di-
rectly one of the gamblers spoke up and
said: ''Gertlemen, you can play ON if
you want to but my precious wife is at
home right now watching and waiting
for me to come home. | have got the
best wife in the world" well" said
the others, every man thinks that.
WELL" said he, my wife knows l am
out gambling, and who am with, ex-
pect, but she's so good that if | was to
take you four men to the house right
now and ring the door-bell and she came
to the door, and l was to tell her to go
and cook supper for all you gamblers,
she'd do it in spirit of genteness and
witch a smile on her face I'VE don't
believe it, y they all exclaimed. "Well,
you all come and Sec.''
And he took the gamblers to his house,
rang the door bell, and his wife let them
in Immediately. and her husband intro
duced her to all the gamblers, and said:
wife, we've been gambling until late,
and we want you to 60 and prepare sup
per for u.s. And wife said: Husband,
the fire is out in the stove, and cook has
gone home, but if you'll all be seated and
patient will get 1t as soon as | can, ;"
and, with a smile on her face, she pre-
pared the supper, called them in, and
she waited on the table with smile on
her face: and, when they had finished the
meal, one of the old gamblers said
Your husband told us before we came
what you would do, but we didn't be-
lieve him, and now | want to ask you
this question: How can you be such a
wife To such husband?" And she said
Gentlemen, | have prayed for that man
for twenty years that God would save
his soul, but | have lost all hope that he
will be saved. !ie is going to world of
torment, and I'm to make his life i'll this
world as pleasant to him as Ican.;' The
gambler looked up and over at her hus-
band, and said: Sir, how can you be
such man with such wife as that?'
And the husband jumped up and said
"Gentlemen, hear me. My wife has won
me to her Saviour tonight; and | have
settled the question. | give myself to
her God and her Christ tonight" Aud
husband afterwards commenced preach
ing, and that he was the preacher that
won these other four gamblers to Christ.

The wonderful progress recently mado
in the applications of electricity to light
ing apparatus of all kinds, but especially
the invention of the incandeScent elec-
trical lamp, induces one to predict that
N a few years all of our homes will be
frightened by the presence of electrical
light. with an increase of comfort and
good health that is now hardly imagi-
nable.
The popular prejudice against elec-
tricity as an agent to be introduced into
the household, on account of supposed
danger to life, is proved to be without
foundation. The wires that introduce
the electrical fluid INTO the house are SO
perfectly Insulated as to prevent the
least danger from such a source, and
even if this were not SO, the current re-
quired for this kind of light is not strong
enough to injure even an infant if it
should chance to touch the conducting
wire.
The incandescent flame burns within
an alright glass globe, and if this globe
be broken, the light will instantly go
out, In consequence of the admission of
oxygen, before it can set fire to the most
inflammable article.
One great point of superiority that this
mode of lighting possesses above all
others, is the ease with which one may
manipulate without danger of injury to
himself or the house. And then the
beauty Of the light surpasses all others,
and has wonderful adaptability to deco
rative purposes. The difficulty at pres
cut is, that only the wealthy can afford
the expense OF setting up a solitary elec-
tric plant foI the use of a private resi-
dence. The majority must await the
establishment, i'll their immediate neigh
borhood, of an electric light station.
When once established, the electrical
will be the cheapest Of all lights for do
mestic use, as well as the most perfect.

Gardening for pleasure, health and a
knowledge of the vegetable world are the
highest inducements that can be set be-
fore one to lead to the study and prac-
tice of horticulture. The commercial
gardener and frnit grower has all the diff
ticulties common to other pursuits to con-
tend with, besides the many perplexlng
ones peculiar to his own. The profits Of
this Industry, in its various branches,
have been persistently set forth in false
and alluring light by many journals, and
especially by travelling statesmen inter
eSted in the sale of various horticultural
products We would not attribute any
intentional dishonesty to those who have
thus bolstered the commercial horticul-
tural movement for years, but hard facts,
as they become known, show the error
of their position. For one without ex-
perienCe and training to take up any
branch Of commercial horticulture is all
most sure to be a courting of failure. On
the other hand, one will seldom or never
be disappointed who turns to the garden
for recreation, or who seeks there tho
building up of over-strained nerves, or
who would follow out to discovery some
of the innumerable secrets of the vege-
table world that are to be found by tho
earnest and patient observer. 1t is the
place for at least an hour or two every dav
for women, as a change from household
duties, for professional men, editors, mer-
chants, clerks, and all who may be en-
gagged in indoor, and especially sedentary
employmenus. More or less garden work
should be engaged in every day and by
every member of the family wherever it
is possible. - 'tch'S .HdqdziRe

Information About the Stomach.

/. The position of the stomach is more
nearly vertical than horizontal.
,. An empty stomach, if in good tone,
is always tubular.
3. \ tubular stomach should be the
rule on rising.
4. Non-irritating liquids pass directly
through the tubular stomach.
). They do likewise if the stomach
contains food, and in such cases pass
along the lesser curvature.
6. The morning mucus contained in
the stomach hinders or retsrds digestion.
/. Water drank before meals dilutes
and washes out this mucus, stimulates
the CASTRO enteric tract to peristalis, and
causes hyperamia of its lining men,
brane, thus greatly aiding digestion as
well as elimination.
S. Cod water should be given to those
who have the power to react, while
warm or hot water must be administered
to all others
8. Salt added to the water is very
beneficial in preventing the formation Of
unabsorable parapeptone.
10. 1t is perfectly proper to drink
water before, during, and after meals.

THE Burt Brothers is the style OF the
new firm that will succeed Snyder
Burt, of this city. The two brothers
I. J. and William, have purchased the
interest of Mr.. Sny der, and will, in con.
nection with the other brother, who
was already interested, continue to
carry on the old business at the old
stand. The change will very materially
effect the firm in an advantageous man
ner, as 1t places one more sterling man
in its business department. With all
their friends, we wish the,young gentle
men the success which their efforts de-
serve.
MCDANIELs affects to think that the
Peoples party is waiting to see who
the Liberal standard bearers will be be-
fore placing their ticket in the fell.
The Peoples party is not so hard up
for material as that. They have men
who have proven themselves capable of
managing public affairs, and they are
not afraid to put them forward as they
probably will do before the Liberals
have their ticket ratified. More than
that, the Peoples party is not afraid to
let everybody participate in their con
vention, and have fair chance to say
who their candidates shall be as the
Liberals evidently are.
IT seems that McLennan claims that
he tried to kill Hunsaker's horse when
he was shooting the other day.
OF course, his explanation will be &C
cepted. He will probably claim that he
was only Joking while he was railing
and Tuning about the place and
threatening to shoot Mr.. Hunsaker on
sight. Respectable people will prob
ably accept such an explanation as the
correct one, too. He was evidently
only in fun, too, when he pulled his gun
out and punched Moroni Poulter with
it at Bonds corner. in fact he is a very
facetious officer and it follows as a
matter of course that the public should
smile at all of his little Jokes and pat
him on the back and praise him for
furnishing them so much innocent
amusement. He is such an adept at
making sport for the public that he
would be fully as much of a success on
public exhibition as on the Marshal's
force.

Thousands of People View It-A Great
Assemblage of Carriages.
thousands of people began Monument day
celebration last night, and journeyed to East
Rock to witness the display of fireworks.
The residences on Orange street and myriads
OF Chinese lanterns lent additional splendor
to the brilliancy along the thoroughfare.
Many of the spectators climbed to the sum-
nit OF the rock, but the majority viewed the
wonderful splendor from the fences and
groves near the bridge. The display began
at $3.50 when an immense bomb was explod-
ed, sending bail of fire soaring into the
darkness, which concluded it's career by
bursting into thousand scintillating sparks
of dazzling brilliancy. Then followed
grand illumination of the rock, monument and
surrounding country with fire OF intense bril-
liancy and different hues. The display con-
tinued at intervals for nearly two hours The
various points, and combined with the work
of immense rockets, which ever and anon
climbed into space from the summit, made
grand and imposing blaze of glory.
The supply of pyrotechnics used in the
display included two hundred rockets, six
hundred pounds of red fire and fifty bombs.
The display was under the supervision of F.
A. Munson, chairman of the committee on
fireworks
About $3.50 last night, when the people
were returning from the pyrotechnio display,

It affords me pleasure to give YOU this report of

boil. We poultced it, but all to no purpose About
nve months after it became running sore Soon

twenty two months old when undertook the care
OF him, his mother having died when he was little
more than year old OF consumption (scrofula of
course). He could walk little, but could not get
up if he fell down and could not move when in bed
having no of his hands. I Immediately com,
menced with the eCuticura Remedies, using the
Cutcura and Cuticura Soap freely, and when he had
taken one bottle of the Cutcura Resovent his head
was completely cured and he was improved in every

half. One sore after another healed, bonY matter
forming in each of these five deep ones lust be-

were taken out; then they would heal rapidly. One

must always remain; his hands are strong though
